Together with the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199.

This kit is the Lasceaux Class space destroyer, released as No. 6 in the Mecha Collection Yamato 2199 series. It's a wide-bodied space warship with a two-color color separation. Small in size, but the distinctive sense of volume and detail are well captured.

That said, the white molded color sections are quite bright, making the molding and details hard to see — which is a bit of a letdown. Straight build satisfaction is relatively lower compared to other kits, and it really feels like one that needs to be painted to truly shine. On top of that, there are no moving parts whatsoever, so for this review, just sit back and enjoy the overall silhouette and details.

So yes, the colors do make it feel a bit plain, but it's still a miniature space warship kit that captures a uniquely shaped design quite well. Either way, if you're a Yamato fan, just having this warship released as a kit should be enough to make you happy. :-)
